Controlling a CEdit with CSpinButtonCtrl 1

[ASingerMustDie]

Hi Everyone

Now imagine I am wishing to use a CSpinButtonCtrl to change the numeric contents of a CEdit control.

This is simple enough, of course, if I wish to increment/decrement the CEdit value by 1. Now suppose I actually wish to multiply the spin value by 5, i.e. show 5 for 1, 10 for 2, 15, 20, 25, etc...

How would I go about this?

I thought that maybe I could add code to a function that executes each time the spin is updated such as:

ceditvar.SetWindowText(5 * cspinvar.GetPos());

(Let's pretend you can pass a numeric value to SetWindowText, that isnt the problem here)

However, there is no appropraite function to execute each time the spin has been updated. What can be done?

Thanks in advance,
ASMD

I'm really not sure if this is the best approach, but one potential method is to use the SetAccel member function of the CSpinButtonCtrl class:

UDACCEL accSpinMultiplier;
accSpinMultiplier.nSec = 0; // wait 0 seconds
accSpinMultiplier.nInc = 5; // increment by 5 each time
m_spinWhatever.SetAccel( 1, &accSpinMultiplier );

That is indeed a solution, thankyou.

However, I attempted to simply the problem for ease of reading and solution. Rather than increment by 5, I actually want the spin to move to the next or previous power of two, i.e.:

ceditvar.SetWindowText(pow(2, cspinvar.GetPos()));

And I don't immediately see how the solution you gave can be applied to this.

Thanks for your help much the same
